How to subtitle/caption audio/video in Adobe Premiere Pro

1. Install Adobe Premiere Pro Extension

Download and install the free Simon Says Extension from Adobe Exchange (search for ‘Simon Says’ in Exchange or find the link via the SimonSays.ai website) – it’s compatible with both PC and Mac. Then launch Premiere Pro and navigate to ‘Window > Extensions > Simon Says’. Click on ‘Get Started’ in the extension panel and log in. New users get free credit.

2. Transcribe video/audio

Select the video/audio sequences in your project bin, click on the ‘+’ button in the Simon Says extension on the top left, and then choose ‘Import’ in the new Simon Says project that gets created. Your edit will import and transcode. Next, choose the original language of your project’s dialogue and click ‘Transcribe’ in the top right of the extension.

3. Preview with the Visual Subtitle Editor

The transcript will be ready in minutes! Export using the ‘Visual Subtitle Editor’ to preview the transcript as subtitle cards. Here, you can combine, split, and edit subtitle cards as needed: the video/audio and transcript will be auto-synced. If you require translated subtitles, go to ‘Export > Translate’ and choose from 100+ languages.

4. Add captions/subtitles to project

Finally, click export and select ‘SRT Subtitles’. Subtitle cards will automatically appear in your project bin. Drag and drop the SRT subtitles onto your sequence at where the dialogue starts.

Hooray — you now have accurate subtitles in Premiere Pro!
